I love these shoes! I was apprehensive to buy after reading reviews that they weren't comfortable (are a little taller than other Merrell's and sit higher on the ankle), but they fit me just fine with no discomfort.

I have been wearing the Chameleon 4 Stretch (and all of it's incarnations for years now. Absolutely the most dependable shoe I have ever worn. I would wear them for both work and casual wear. When they wore down I would order another pair without too much thought. Recently I ordered the Merrell Chameleon Prime Stretch assuming it was an updated version. After one day of wear I wondered why my feet hurt. Upon closer inspection I realized that these were practically a cheap knock off of the Chameleon 4 Stretch. The Vibram sole is gone and the overall construction and materials seemed much cheaper. I am heartbroken over it - have stopped buying them.

I was excited reading the other reviews about these shoes that I could get back to my 4 year old Chameleons. Unfortunately, for my foot at least, these shoes are not the comfort I am used to. The shoe beds have no arch support and it feels like I was standing on the floor. I took them off after 5 minutes as my feet were hurting. In addition, the raised sides hit me right at the base of my ankle joint causing discomfort. I wish I were like the other reviewers who love them but I am not and have returned them. I'm back in my very worn, 4 year old Chameleons.

I bought these shoes to replace a similar shoe that I wore some eight years with hard wear. These are as good. A little more ankle support, if you like that. The comfort level is great, and the look is rugged. Only one small shortcoming. Kind of difficult to get on due to the small opening. After a while you get the hang of it. Highly recommended.
